The director Paul Schrader engaged Bowie for a theme song in 1981, with Giorgio Moroder having already recorded most of the music. Bowie was to put lyrics to the main theme. The B-side is a Moroder-only instrumental which featured no input from Bowie.
The song itself, in keeping with the dark tone of the film, has some slight goth rock influences, with Bowie singing in a deep baritone croon while being backed up by a female chorus. In 2009, the track was used in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and in 2017, the film Atomic Blonde with Charlize Theron.
